As I was getting ready for work this morning, I was feeling pretty discouraged about my lack of ability to be the right kind of mom to a daughter who is battling severe food allergies.
I had been texting with a friend early this morning and sharing my struggle and she said,
“Maybe we can figure out what to do to make it easier.”
As I read the word, “we” in her text,
I realized I am not allowing God to work in the mighty way He can if I do not ask for help in the places where He might be able to step in and provide just what our family needs.
So, I’m asking for your help this morning.
I need recipes and guidance for a child with allergies to wheat, soy, milk, eggs, peanuts, and pork.
Coming up with creative meals is a challenge for me.
And I’m failing.
I love you all so much, and I know many of you live in places all over the world and might know of resources of which I am not aware.
I feel excited for the first time in a long time just thinking that maybe God has been waiting for this moment.
“Ask and it will be given to
you;
seek and you will find;
knock and the door will be
opened to you.”
Matt. 7:7
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
You are not failing, dear Tammy.
He is always sufficient….exceedingly, abundantly beyond what you ask. His answers never come too late, though our emotions quarrel with us about the outcomes. xxo D..

I have been following the Blood Type Diet for a while now because of some digestive problems. The diet for my type (type O)restricts many of the things you listed. I’m not supposed to have wheat (gluten), pork, dairy, etc. I can have soy, but I don’t really care for it so I sub in almond milk. Just google”blood type o diet”. There are several books and recipes online. Good luck!
Thank you both so much!
